Topic: Presents to Guru (Read 1542 times)

Someone asked: "Why people are bringing presents to Guru?Are they are not for Guru anugraha?"

Bhagavan answered:

"Why are they bringing presents? Do I ask for them? Despitenot asking, they are bringing and thrusting them on me. If Iagree to take them once, I cannot decline them subsequently.This is like a placing a tiny worm in the fishing net to catch fish!Are the fishermen eager to feed the fish? Is it not for catchingthe fish and eating? Hence I do not, as a rule agree to presents.( I agree to take the presents of their 'atma'.)
